6 Ways Mobile Apps Can Boost Employee Engagement

Smartphones and tablets have put power in the pockets of more than a billion global consumers. Mobile is not simply another device for IT to support with a contracted website or a screen-scraped application. Rather, mobile is the manifestation of a much broader shift to new systems of engagement. These systems of engagement help firms empower their employees with context-aware apps and smart solutions. To remain vital in this business technology reformation, CIOs must step up and work with their HR colleagues to establish an “office of the chief mobility officer” to implement an enterprise wide mobile strategy.

This could deliver three immediate benefits:

Employee learn faster along the mobile learning curve
Fuel operational efficiency with mobile self-service
Grow from teams, focusing on systems of record to teams focusing on systems of engagement
